The name HiddenFrames is incredibly generic, and 99.99% likely to be overwritten with code that isn't yours. Even if you did have a totally unique name, making variables local is almost always better.
With Ace3, you can use AceAddon's GetAddon API to return the object if it is in another file within the same addon, meaning if the primary file defines the object as local, you can still reference it in another file.

I understand. I've changed variable to local. Before I thought this object would need to be in global scope.
I really appreciate your comments because those couple of posts (this one here and others answering my questions in other threads) let me figure out how things work. There's still plenty to learn but I believe I have a pretty good understanding of basic stuff
